I've seen the other tabs posted for this song, and I think neither is definitive.
They both have the chorus chords wrong?
I've taken the original tab (posted by Mick Buttrose) and changed the chords in the chorus,
which are now right. As far as the riff posted in the second version goes, I don't know -
I don't have my guitar with me, but it looks OK, so I've put it in with a couple of alterations
I think are right. As for how to play the chords, here's how I do it?
G - 320033
D - xx0232
C - x32010 or x32030 as an occasional variation (Cadd9)
Bm - x24432
I hope that puts this one to bed - any questions/corrections/comments email Matt Croxall
